Football icon and Argentina skipper Lionel Messi has responded in classy fashion to the son of Diego Maradona who took aim at the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner after their shocking start to the Qatar World Cup.
Argentina were on the wrong end of a stunning 2-1 scoreline as Saudi Arabia, ranked outside of the top 50 teams in the world according to FIFA, pulled off one of the biggest World Cup upsets in history. Messi actually put Lionel Scaloni's men in front against Saudi Arabia from the penalty spot, before having another goal ruled out for offside.
Before a ball had been kicked out in Qatar, many had compared Messi to the legendary figure that is Maradona. This despite the fact that while the now late, great Maradona has won the World Cup, the current Paris Saint-Germain superstar is yet to get his hands on football's most coveted trophy.
